Made of 4mm aluminum and powder coated black, the SW-MOTECH Motorcycle Seat-Rack for BMW R1200GS LC & R1200GS LC Adventure replaces and uses the same locking mechanism as the passenger seat. This unit is the only one of its kind that does not require disassembly of your motorcycle. Installation is as easy as removing the passenger seat and clicking the Seat-Rack in its place.

With this type of accessory it's all about the fit and finish of the product. This rack looks great, is strong and will be perfect for my purpose. The fit is not perfect without some modification. The "locking bolt" is not the correct size. I had to modify the assembly in order to get it to fit the bike locking mechanism. Would it be possible for you to send me another "locking bolt", item 3 on the parts list? (Posted on 1/19/2016)

Exactly what I was looking for to replicate the area on my previous 2007 R1200GSA when the passenger seat was removed. I only install the passenger seat when I have a passenger, so when covered with a bungee net this cover gives a nice area to strap cargo. It also gives my helmet a much better and secure perch when I lock it to the bike while at the subway station for my work commute. Assembled easily per instructions using thread lock, and then it snapped perfectly into place. Well made and a worthwhile product if you want an alternative to keeping the rear seat installed all the time. (Posted on 10/21/2014)

Works as advertised. This item is exactly what I was looking for. It allows me to secure a "day" bag and still have quick access to my under-rear-seat tools/storage with a twist of the key. The bag sits low and is easy to throw a leg over. The price is a bit steep but it is very sturdy and solid -- it will last longer than the bike will. (Posted on 8/27/2014)

Bought this month ago. Some self assembly required and thread lock recommended which fortunately I had to hand. It would not be so much bigger to ship ready assembled which is worth bearing in mind SW Motech. Quality is excellent, as is integration with the bike. It took me a couple of goes to slide it securely into the exact position and "click", but once I got it right it feels rock solid. I was worried about it bumping up against the side pannier rails that come standard on the GS Adventure, but no worries at all there. (Posted on 8/15/2014)

Was looking at all the manufacture's for a pillion seat rack that clipped in place like the seat. I looked at all the offerings out there and chose this one. Glad I did. Works great! I did have to do some slight mods. I ground down the tab to match the diameter of the rubber bumper that keeps the rack from moving forward. The reason for this mod was to help clear the electronic module that is on top of the fender. The tap was unnecessarily long. A little Dremel work and some touch up paint did the trick.
